Kwak'waka'wakw art. This pendant is made from palladium with diamonds and abalone inlay. 1 5/8" wide not counting the bale. The sun is on one side, the moon on the other.
Repousse is a technique in which the surface of the metal is pushed up, raised from behind using a number of different punches and tools to create a three dimensional design. Chasing accomplishes the opposite effect, creates details by pushing the surface down. The two techniques work together to make a three dimensional piece of art.
